Produktbeschreibungen
Patricia Barber hat mit genügend Alben den Durchbruch geschafft, um nun auf eigenen Füßen zu stehen. Ihre Karriere, ganz zu schweigen von ihrer Musik, ist wie ein riesiger Regenbogen, der sich hell und farbenfroh wölbt, aber auch dunkle, stimmungsvolle Klangfarben kennt. Aber wie bereits ihre letzten Alben Nightclub, Companion und Modern Cool wird ihr auch dieses ein noch größeres Publikum bescheren. Der Unterschied besteht darin, dass dies das erste Album der Sängerin und Pianistin ist, das ausschließlich Original-Songs enthält.
Hier begleitet Dave Douglas mit seiner Trompete ihre geistreichen und sehr anspruchsvollen Texte, und diese zehn gelehrten Werke erinnern sehr an die Art und Weise, wie der große Cole Porter Bildung verbreitete und dabei die arme englische Sprache auf unwiderstehlich unterhaltsame Weise malträtierte. "I Could Eat Your Words" handelt von Philosophie, vom Kochen und vom Verliebtsein in den College-Professor. In diesem Song schafft sie es irgendwie "suck the salt from erudition, drink remorse like a cabernet, sweeten with equivocation" ("aus der Gelehrsamkeit Salz zu saugen, Gewissensbisse wie einen Cabernet zu schlürfen, mit Zweideutigkeiten alles zu versüßen") und dazu immer noch zu swingen. Viele Sängerinnen würden bei "erudition" (Gelehrsamkeit) hängen bleiben, während Barber -- klug, düster-elegant und witzig -- weiterhin auf hohem künstlerischem Niveau komponiert. David Hockney, Edward Hopper und Goya in dem Text von "If I Were Blue" zu erwähnen und Baudelaire in "You've Gotta Go Home" ist hier kein billiger Trick. --Mark Ruffin

Review
by Matt Collar

Pianist/vocalist Patricia Barber is the Alanis Morissette of the jazz world. Her serpentine, poetic songs teeter between deftly witty and awkwardly Latinate. Each album is more ambitious than the last, taking her deeper into avant-garde territory both lyrically and instrumentally. Verse is no exception. Case in point: "I Could Eat Your Words," a canny bit of word play in the tradition of "Peel Me a Grape," in which Barber barely gets away with words like "provocation" and "syllogistically," only to sum things up with the devastating line, "sip the spit from your bittersweet rhyme." The indelible track here, though, has to be "If I Were Blue," featuring the line, "If I were blue, like David Hockney's pool/Dive into me and glide under a California sky/Inside your mouth and nose and eyes am I." It's perhaps the best thing Barber has ever written -- it could be considered serious modern poetry if only it didn't rhyme. About the biggest complaint one can lodge against Barber is her insistent denial of melody. Her voice is soft, almost matter-of-fact, and she more or less hints at singing. Obviously, lyrical intent is more important to Barber than how she carries a tune, and her voice does seem more suited to whispering torch songs cabaret-style, such as on "Dansons la Gigue," than delivering any vocal gymnastics. It's just that sometimes her songs could be showcased better with a consistently delivered vocal melody. However, she makes up for her lack of sonorousness (to use a Barber kind of word) with intricate musical arrangements, this time around augmented by the Miles Davis-cum-Lester Bowie trumpet of Dave Douglas. Barber's is a world of cloaked intentions, and Douglas' playful vibrato works like the flame of a candle illuminating her soft, shadowy corners.
